Another, more popular artist whom we agreed not to name ( update: it's Soulja Boy Tell 'Em) plans to offer three songs in remixable iPhone app form Tuesday, and we expect the trend to continue. Interactive (Remixable) Albums_The first artist we spotted to sell an interactive version of an album that allows fans to customize it differently each time they listen was Deadmau5, whose iPhone app for that purpose blew us away in February.

Mogwai's "Tracy" Music Box_Scottish guitar band Mogwai gave its fans (the author included) a real treat in the form of a professionally-constructed metal music box that plays their song "Tracy" when you wind a little crank on the side. Soup cans were assembled by the artist in some sort of sweatshop ( – video). All of the songs are in the 320 Kbps DRM-free Mp3 format. In addition to a food item that can be consumed in the event of lapsed fandom (or nuclear winter), fans who choose the soup can format also get an exclusive digital compilation of Max Tundra's friends covering his songs.
